BINGO
The questions are in a bingo-style format. Students read the informational text about Cinco de Mayo. Then, they answer questions on the bingo grid. The grid comes in 26 different versions. Having each student use a different version of the answer grid will allow you to reinforce the content of the informational text by playing a game of
bingo.
HOW TO PLAY:
The first page is an answer key, which can be used to play the game of bingo. Cut up each square, place them in a Ziploc bag or container of your choice, and call out questions. Students must answer the question correctly and have 5 in a row: up, down, or diagonally. Students can use counters or treats to keep track of the questions.

This product could be used by printing the pages onto card stock (or regular white paper). I suggest laminating the cards. There are several ways in which you could display the cards in your classroom.
1. Bulletin Board Display 2. Attach to two pieces of ribbon, then use clothespins for student names. 3. Laminate and use magnets on a white board. 4. Any way you choose!

This resource is a fun and interactive way to have your students respond to a book they have read. You might use this after finishing a Read Aloud or when students finish their Book Club or Independent Reading Book. This resource leaves a lot of room for creativity and individual response. I used this project in my classroom after we finished the book The Landry News by Andrew Clements. Students used their Reader’s Response Journal to take notes throughout the book. Once we finished the book, students jotted ideas in their notebooks about which characters changed (how and why). The theme charts included in this product are charts my students keep in their Reader’s Response Journals. You can find more charts like this here. These charts were especially helpful in planning for this project.
Students used their notes (although you could do this any way that works for you:) ) to answer the questions. Then, they created a rough draft sketch of their comic strip. Finally, students illustrated a colorful comic strip demonstrating their understanding of the text. This product lends itself to much creativity and is wonderful for an end of the year, keep-your-students-engaged activity!

About the Product:
This product comes with 48 colorful Spring-Themed Task Cards for Converting Units of Measurement. The Task Cards support the following 4th Grade Standards:
CCSS.4.MD.1.1 Know relative sizes of measurement units within one system of units including Km m, cm; kg, g; lb. oz; L, hr, min, sec. Within a single system of measurement, express measurements in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Record measurement equivalents in a two column table.
CCSS.4.MD.1.2 Use the four operations to solve word problems involving distances, intervals of time, and money, including problems involving simple fractions or decimals. Represent fractional quantities of distance and intervals of time using linear models.
They can be printed in color or as grayscale black and white. I suggest laminating the cards and printing on card stock so they will last longer. However, I did not do this and printed on regular 8.5 x 11 and then laminated. This worked perfectly fine if you do not have card stock handy (as I did not-hindsight is 20/20, right?).
After laminating, you can use a book/binder ring to attach the chards. They can then become part of your Math Center as a rotation, small group, tutoring, or for review. Another suggestion for using this is to not expect students to complete all of the cards, especially your struggling students. A blank Answer Sheet is included that students can just write the number for each problem. This is wonderful to use as an early finisher task. Some of the problems require multiple steps, which will be useful with higher level students. My students still work on our Division is SNOW much fun! Task Cards when they finish an assignment, though the snow has long melted (or never arrived since we live in Florida). If you decided to print Black and White, these problems could also be glued in students’ math journal.

CCSS.5.G.A.1Use a pair of perpendicular number lines, called axes, to define a coordinate system, with the intersection of the lines (the origin) arranged to coincide with the 0 on each line and a given point in the plane located by using an ordered pair of numbers, called its coordinates. Understand that the first number indicates how far to travel from the origin in the direction of one axis, and the second number indicates how far to travel in the direction of the second axis, with the convention that the names of the two axes and the coordinates correspond (e.g., x-axis and x-coordinate, y-axis and y-coordinate).
